Workshops

Instructor Responsibilities

  • Instructor agrees to honor the spirit of collegiality and professionalism while conducting Workshops within HeatSync Labs
  • Instructor agrees to abide by current HeatSync Labs policies and procedures
  • Instructor understands that the HeatSync membership is overall small and that the economics support targeting OUTSIDE the HeatSync community by marketing to friends/family, coffee shops, workplaces, schools, etc
  • Instructor should fill out the online Event Scheduling Request form.
  • Instructor should be prepared to start the workshop at the start time and conclude at the end time.

Guidelines on Ticket Prices

Our current policy is the following: Ticket prices are set by the instructor. 30% of profits goes to HeatSync Labs 70% to instructors.

  • Instructors may offer a discount ticket price for members
  • HeatSync Labs will receive a contribution of one third the class fee.
  • Instructor amount = (total ticket sales - materials costs) * 70%
  • HeatSync Labs amount = (Total ticket sales - materials cost) * 30%

Guidelines On "Certification" Workshops

Certification workshops are those which are used to train membership on usage of some of our more dangerous/expensive tools. The tools which require certification to use are chosen by the tools' station heads.

  • Whenever a "certification" workshop is presented it shall be presented as such.
  • The Instructor agrees to present the workshop according to the guidelines provided by HeatSync Labs.

Instructor Eligibility:

  • One must be a member in good standing with HeatSync Labs
  • One must be already certified on the tools before you are authorized to teach

Cancellations, No-shows, and Refunds

  • Should the workshop fail to sign the minimum participants by 14 days prior to the workshop, the workshop will be canceled and refunds issued to the participants who paid
  • HSL will not be held responsible for any fees to Instructor if workshop is canceled for any reason. We will make every possible effort to notify Instructor in advance of any unforeseen problems that may arise which would cause the workshop to be canceled other than the below minimum enrollment as previously stated.

Scheduling

In order to properly schedule and publicize workshop events hosts should submit the following to details preferably 2 or more weeks in advance:

  • Workshop Title

Such indemnity and agreement to hold harmless shall include, but not be limited to, loss or damage resulting from the violation by the Instructor, it's officers, agents, or employees of an applicable laws or regulations of any governmental authority in the use of premise and equipment.

Instructor agrees not to act or represent to others that s/he is an employee or agent of HeatSync Labs and HeatSync Labs has no obligation or duty of any kind to pay any expenses or costs of any sort incurred by the Instructor.

Presentations

HeatSync Labs is always looking for more presentations to host at our monthly meetings. What would you like to hear about and what knowledge can you impart to the rest of us? The following list is a record of past presenters and presentations topics. We hope to upload presentation slides/videos in the future. Also, feel free to request a presentation on a topic you are interested in; chances are someone may in a group may know something about it. You can also request a repeat of a previous presentation.

Presentation Suggestions for the Future

If you have something you'd like to see, please add it in a bullet here. Maybe tie in a monthly theme regarding a particular item or technique (i.e. casting, milling, or spinning) and include a monthly demo. Try to focus on fundamental materials or methods to build on previously covered topics.

  • Human Powered Vehicles
  • Remote-LAN Microcontroller HAX with Arduino
